Four people received hospital treatment when they were injured in a suspected assault as they left a nightclub in Redditch.

The victims had been in Fever nightclub, Unicorn Hill, during the early hours of Sunday morning when there was an altercation with another group of men. As one of the victims left the club they were met by the men who began kicking and punching them.

A 22-year-old man sustained a cut to his eye which needed treatment at Birmingham Eye Hospital.

A 25-year-old friend suffered a head injury and he was detained in Redditch Alexandra Hospital overnight for observation, while two other men aged 22 and 23 were also taken to the hospital for treatment for minor injuries.

Three men in their 20s were arrested on suspicion of assault, and are currently on police bail pending further inquiries.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident. Anyone with information should contact PC Damian Elcock at West Mercia Police on the non-emergency number 101 or ring the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
